Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? \u003ci\u003eOn Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing \"practices of freedom\" by which we negotiate our interrelation with--indeed, our inseparability from--others, with all the care and constraint that entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture--from recent art-world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis--is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company. \u003ci\u003eOn Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e is an invigorating, essential book for challenging times.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaggie Nelson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books of poetry and prose, most recently the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller and National Book Critics Circle Award winner \u003ci\u003eThe Argonauts\u003c\/i\u003e.
